Last week I posted a #preprint entitled “The global relationship between flowering plant and #pollinator diversity holds true across scales, latitude, and human influence”.
I was not prepared for what happened after it went live on 2nd March! Read more here:

🚨📝Repensando el papel de las pequeñas huertas rurales 🍅🥬 revistaecosistemas.net/index.php/ec... Las pequeñas huertas rurales de la Comunidad de Madrid gestionadas por mujeres jóvenes 🧑🏻🌾 presentan menor riesgo de abandono y sostienen practicas de manejo con mayor potencial ecológico.
Freesia refracta (Iridaceae) flowering in a burned landscape, near Tortosa, Tarragona, Catalonia, Eastern Spain. Species of South African origin introduced and naturalized here.
Impressive blooming of Freesia refracta 7 months after fire.
And I'm not in South Africa, but in Tortosa (Tarragona, E Spain)! Introduced & naturalized here. It's a feast for pollinators in the burned area.

🌧️⛰️La sierra de Grazalema, en Cádiz, destaca por ser un lugar muy lluvioso en comparación con su entorno, ¿pero a qué se debe esto? En este 🧵 os contamos por qué su orografía y situación particular hace que llueva tanto a lo largo del año.

What are the medicinal benefits of Thyme?
Thymus vulgaris is a potent herbal remedy rich in thymol & carvacrol. Scientific research highlights its:
• Respiratory Support: Acts as an expectorant to clear mucus.
• Antimicrobial Power: Fights bacteria & fungi.
• Anti-inflammatory: Soothes sore throats

Actually let me do this proper
New paper in TREE: we propose a framework to think more clearly about the scale of climate exposure of organisms—and why mismatches between climate data and biology can mislead ecological inference.

🌱 Forest understory dynamics. Vallé et al. demonstrate that the impact of drought on woodland herb‑layer diversity is modulated by land‑use history and local site factors, with older forest components showing greater resistance 🌳📉.

I’m really concerned about early career scientists using generative AI in writing, because writing is how we think and reflect. There’s almost nothing *more* human than that, and to give that gift away to a machine is almost unconscionable to me
It’s really demoralizing how many colleagues are using AI.
Your job is literally to use your brain- your extremely unique, highly trained brain 😭
Map of the Burned area in August 2025 across the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula (NW-IP; orange), highlighting megafires (> 10,000 ha; red).
Scatterplot of monthly Buned Aarea versus Fire Weather Iindex in the NW Iberian Peninsula for 1985–2025.
Plot of the burn selectivity in August 2025 for the NW-IP: black dots show the fraction of BA for each vegetation class. “Pinus” and “Quercus” include natural, semi-natural, naturalized and plantations of native species. The red triangles indicate the presence of each class in the study area (i.e., what fraction of that vegetation class would have burned if fires were equally affecting all vegetation classes). Black error bars are 95% confidence intervals estimated through a conservative leave-one-fire-out jackknife.
